Abstract

Soil microbes are responsible for contributing to the main components of the soil organic matter (SOM). Their micro-and nano-scale organo-mineral associations with soil minerals are the sites where complex processes including aggregate formation, microbial mineral weathering, and soil organic matter stabilization all occur in a narrow zone of biogeochemical gradients.
